Of course, Caleb could only dare to think about those words.
“Investigate who has been around Alice in the past seven years.” Ethan had never backed down from such things
and only confronted them head-on. “Bring Liam and Bradley with you.”
Although he couldn’t beat the other man up, he wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly. He could only start
planning once he had all the chips in his hands.
So what if that man was her favorite? So what if he meant a lot to her?
She was Ethan’s wife. They’re legally married. Did he, Ethan Knight, ever lose?
There was no way he would lose!
He wanted to see who could snatch his wife from his hands!
“All right,” Caleb agreed readily. He was surprised when he heard Ethan’s request. Mr. Knight wants to investigate
Miss Woland again?
He even asked him to bring Liam and Bradley along with him.
Caleb had been with Ethan for a long time, and there wasn’t ever such a serious incident to dispatch him, Liam, and
Bradley at the same time.
Yet now, Ethan ordered the three of them to investigate Alice?!
At this point, there was no doubt that Ethan wanted them to investigate everyone related to the young lady from
the past eight generations.
Caleb was surprised when he heard Ethan’s additional request.
“Investigate carefully. Leave no stones unturned.”
The corners of Caleb’s lips twitched instinctively. Ethan had arranged for such a specific investigation. It would be
hard for them not to.
Ethan felt that his instruction was still insufficient, so after some thought, he added, “Remember, don’t miss
anything out. Go over this with a fine-toothed comb, inform me even if there’s a male mosquito buzzing about.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEthan was emphasizing every word on purpose.
Caleb was stunned. Ethan had always demanded strictness and care when investigating so there weren’t any
mistakes about Alice, which he understood.
However, what could Ethan mean when he emphasized the words ‘male mosquitoes’?
He tilted his head and wondered, Did he mean real mosquitos? Or was it a code word for something? Maybe he just
meant real mosquitos?!
In the room where Alice was, Lydia received a message. She glanced at her phone and smiled coldly. “Alice, the
results are in. There are absolutely no relations at all which means that Charles isn’t related to you at all…”
There wasn’t a doubt that Alice was Lucas’ daughter.
It turned out that Charles had no relations with Lucas at all.
Alice and Apollo were still on the phone. When she heard Lydia’s answer, she narrowed her eyes and then told
Apollo on the other end of the phone, “My dear, I have to go to Cliaria for a bit. Come back with me. You can
accompany your uncle there.”
The moment Alice got the results, she decided her plans should start now.
Apollo was still young; she didn’t want him to get involved.
The members of the Woland Family were sinister, vicious, shameless, and had no moral boundaries. She didn’t
want Apollo to be in harm’s way.
“No, I don’t want to go back. If you don’t trust me, I’ll go to my father. I was planning to meet him anyway,” Apollo
said, then paused before slowly adding, “I’m already seven years old, and I haven’t even met my father yet. I don’t
even know what my own father looks like.”
Apollo’s words were sad and pitiful.
Alice told him the results when Keith and Apollo’s test came out. Now Apollo knew that Keith was his biological
father, so he planned to find him.
Apollo’s one sentence completely stopped Alice from continuing to persuade him.
All children long for their father’s love, and Apollo was no different. Alice really couldn’t say anything to stop him
this time.
If Apollo wanted to look for him, then so be it. With Keith and the Rowlands, Apollo might be better protected there.
It might even be the best arrangement for the situation.
“I’ll be going back to Cliaria today, so why don’t you accompany me then? When you’re there, I’ll look for your
father with you. Is that okay?” Alice had to deal with the Wolands, and there were some things to be dealt with in
Cliaria.
This time, she wouldn’t give the Wolands any chance. She would do anything to make them pay the price.
Regardless, she was worried about leaving Apollo alone in the country.
She didn’t pay any attention to the Wolands, including Charles. It wasn’t difficult for her to deal with them.
Still, Alice now had some suspicions that there were some other people behind the Wolands. They couldn’t be the
Yeagers but a family more terrifying than them.
Since even if her father wasn’t Charles’ son, Alice couldn’t think of a reason for Charles to kill her father in cold
blood.
It didn’t make sense if Charles did all this just to take over the company and shares.
When her father was alive, there wasn’t anything missing from the company. If Charles wanted money, Lucas
would’ve given it to him on a silver platter. If Charles wanted a house, her father wouldn’t even hesitate to give it to
him, no questions asked.
As long as Charles requested something, her father would definitely do everything in his power to see it fulfilled.
It was no less than what Charles had now.
Elijah was useless, and Charles knew that very well. If the company was taken over and handed to Elijah, the
company would be ruined.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the past seven years, if Alice didn’t have the heart to see the company fall to ruin. So, she had arranged for
someone from the Glenn Group to be the shadow director. If they relied entirely on Elijah, the Glenn Group
would’ve been destroyed in a matter of months.
Charles had never been involved with the Glenn Group’s affairs in the past seven years. So, it was clear that he
didn’t want power.
Both Charles and Elijah hadn’t earned a lot these past seven years. Her father definitely raked in more than they
did over the past seven years.
If Charles’ purpose was only money, there wasn’t a reason to want to kill Lucas. It would be better to make her
father work hard and give them the money.
After all, before his death, her father didn’t even know he wasn’t Charles’ son.
Alice now felt that Charles killed her father not simply for money but to ensure that he was thoroughly eliminated.
But what was the motive behind such a decision?
Why did it have to happen seven years ago?
When Alice was very young, she noticed that Charles had never been close to her father. Now that she thought
about it, Charles was probably aware that her father wasn’t his son.
If that were the case, why didn’t he do anything to Lucas? Why did he choose to kill her parents seven years ago?
What happened seven years ago?
Lucas was involved in a car accident seven years ago. Alas, after seven years of investigation, there wasn’t any
evidence to prove that there was something amiss behind it.
She used to think that Thomas was cunning and hid the evidence carefully. But now that she thought about it all
carefully, the accident wasn’t as simple as it seemed. If what happened back then was truly done by the Wolands
and Thomas, they wouldn’t have been able to squirrel away the evidence so successfully.
The only other explanation was that there were outsiders involved in this so-called accident.
